It can also reconstruct the events for us and because the evidence is convincing and irrefutable, we hope that Mr. Diego Castillo is proven guilty. - We fear that this process may end the process of seeking the fundamental justice for my mother. That is why today is so important to us. This is the reason we seek justice and punishment of those who are most responsible.- We hope for truth, for justice and to contribute to the guarantee of non-repetition of these crimes, above all against the territorial leaders who continue to defend the common goods of the nature, the rights of indigenous community. We also hope to break a little the structural impunity that exists in our country that protects those people who are economic and political leaders.
